"Hours of on-line fun!! My personal favorite is the Pretzel Museum (found under "Unusual Museums") Just tons of cool links, articles, exhibit info, games, educational stuff, and museum shops--oh, remember how cool the museum shop was but then your parents never bought you anything because that glow in the dark dinosaur skeleton was like $80 and no matter what they said you just couldn't understand that the price of that plastic piece of junk was going to feed you for the next week and a half. -- Something for every one in here. Don't forget to actually go to these places, see , that's what its all about...kids these days." .. Editor, FlipTurtle.com

"There's something endearing about the way Museum Stuff is exactly as vague, broad-ranging and shambolic as the name suggests. It has the feel of something thrown together by an eccentric history professor - but it's that scholarly enthusiasm that is its main strength. Most usefully there are links to over 8,000 other museum websites, plus a selection of the best online exhibits from museums worldwide and a gloriously random "learn about stuff" section with bite-sized facts on everything from science to art. - An encyclopaedia would be more useful but probably not so lovingly created. " .. Web-User Magazine, Best of the Net
